Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 823

"What's wrong?" Hattori asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, just..."

Gao Cheng noticed Inufushi Chiaki who kept his head down all the time, he paused and returned to the room, squatting down beside the old lady.

Although it was not obvious, a tear did flow from the corner of the old lady's eyes, but it didn't seem like she had regained consciousness. Gao Cheng watched it silently for a while, but didn't just leave. He looked around the room, especially the one mentioned by Inufushi Chiaki. cabinet.

The cabinet door was closed, and the surrounding tatami was spacious and clean, but it seemed that a bead had fallen from the old lady's pillow.

Gao Cheng carefully picked up the bead with a handkerchief and found that it was a rosary.

"Have you had this bead before?"

"Ah?" Inufushi Chiaki opened his mouth, "I, I didn't notice..."

"I didn't see it when I was helping my mother make the bed," Inufushi Yukihime said strangely, "It seems to be the beads of my mother's favorite string of beads, and they should be put in the cabinet properly."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng opened the cabinet door and saw the same rosary beads scattered inside. He lifted the quilt on the old lady with a sullen face, and found a small string of rosary beads that the old lady was holding tightly in his hand before the members of the Quanfushi family exclaimed.

It seems that the old lady tore apart the rosary by herself, leaving a section, but the rosary scattered on the floor was picked up by someone.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gao Cheng glanced at Chiaki Inufushi whose face changed slightly.

There are eight rosary beads in the old lady's hand, and the fourth is a black bead that is smaller than the other rosary beads.

If it refers to the rosary in "The Legend of the Eight Dogs", the fourth one happens to be the "wisdom" of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom". Judging from the fact that the old lady took in these illegitimate children and changed the name of Inufushi Yukihime, it should be known in "Eight Dogs". The story of "Inubushi" is also clear about Chairman Inubushi.

In other words, the old lady is testifying against Chiaki Inufushi, who corresponds to "wisdom". For the old man, it is clearest whether Chiaki Inufushi has stayed by her side to take care of herself. Obviously Chiaki Inufushi lied.

However, these are still not conclusive evidence.

"It's beads again!"

Hattori and Conan, who were planning to leave, couldn't move their feet at all. Staring at the rosary, they immediately thought of Gao Cheng's suspicion of Inufushi Chiaki. Combined with the previous clues, the whole case became much clearer.

"Sure enough, it's the Legend of the Eight Dogs," Shancun Cao, who was woken up, came over yawning, and immediately said energetically when he saw the rosary in the old lady's hand, "I said it feels very familiar, the eight beads and the magic dog. My grandma told me that it was a story in "The Legend of the Eight Dogs Seen in Nanzong"! It really is a curse!"

"Anyway, it's getting late, let's continue the investigation tomorrow."

Gao Cheng helped the old lady cover the quilt again, and stood up from the tatami.

He finally understood the reason why the prisoner left beads at each crime scene, and he also thought about the measures the prisoner might take next.

"Everyone keep your spirits up, and tomorrow I will go to the wooden house with the police officers from the Appraisal Section. The magic dog should still be moving around."

"That's the only way." Shancun Cao nodded again and again, anyway, he didn't want to go out to find the magic dog at night, and maybe even he would be cursed.

……

"Woof!" Inufushi under the dense night, Xiao Ba yelled twice in the yard, not knowing what he dreamed about.

In the huge mansion, only Mrs. Suochen's room was still lit. Chiaki Inufushi went outside and knocked on the door lightly, opened the door to the side and said, "Xinghime, how is mother?"

"I didn't get up again..."

Inufushi Yukihime rubbed her eyes, cheered up and said, "But I always feel that my mother is not asleep."

"Probably still worried," Inufushi Chiaki explained, hesitantly said, "Well, Yukihime, although I'm very embarrassed, can I trouble you to take me to the pond again?"

"what?"

"I seem to have lost my mother's medicine, probably at that time..."

"It really is you, Mr. Chiaki." Gaocheng's voice suddenly interrupted Inubushi Chiaki from the corridor, and two large, one small, and three black shadows were reflected on the paper door, and soon the figures of Gaocheng, Hattori, and Conan appeared in Inufushi In front of Chiaki.

"What do you mean?" Inufushi Chiaki's lips were slightly dry.

Gao Cheng took out a roll of piano wire and a bag of disposable lighters in his hand, looked directly at Inufushi Akira and said, "I'm sorry, we went in to look for it when you were leaving, as a doctor, it shouldn't be necessary to buy so many lighters." ?”

"This is……"

"Could it be that the few people who have been killed asked you to buy it? But why is it still in your room?"

Gao Cheng glanced at the handbag that Inufushi Chiaki was holding in his arms.

"There is only one reason, because the prisoner needs to use it to set up organs. If I guessed correctly, there should be already prepared organs in the bag you are holding now."

"Organ?" Inufushi Yukihime, who was still in the room, looked blank, "Detective Kido, what is it..."

"Miss Yukihime, Mr. Chiaki didn't look for you because he lost his medicine." Gao Cheng looked at Yukihime Inufushi and the sleeping old lady, and explained, "I'm sure that the embankment has been carefully searched, absolutely no Drop something again, the reason why I say this is probably just an excuse to ask you to go out and continue to commit crimes...

"Yes, whether it is to continue the magic dog's trick of killing people or to act out a murderer's suicide trick, we need to find Miss Yukihime. I think it should be to let the so-called magic dog and the murderer burn themselves together, because this can also Destroy the evidence and prevent the police from continuing to investigate."

Hattori next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Chiaki probably panicked too, because he woke up and left a reminder, and if it continues, the magic dog will be found sooner or later. This night is the last chance."

"Wait, wait a minute," Inufushi Chiaki said anxiously, "What are you talking about, I just..."

"There's no need to pretend anymore, Mr. Zhihuang," Gao Cheng affirmed, "The tools for committing the crime are probably on your body now, just search to find out, all the evidence you want to plant on Ms. Xingji..."

"Actually, I began to suspect you during the initial investigation, because I heard that Xiao Ba would bark at you all the time. If it wasn't for strangers, it would be very understandable that this would happen. If it wasn't because you had provoked Xiao Ba , there is only one possibility left, not because you are timid and easy to bully, but because you smell like other dogs..."

Seeing Chihuang Inufushi's face begin to change, Gao Cheng continued in a deep voice: "Then you mentioned that there is a dog house by the pond, and you said that Migako showed you there before, and it was indeed a dog house, but it was in the past. Probably because you moved to another place after being discovered by Meizi, and left the wooden house as a cover. This is also the reason why there are a lot of black magic books in the wooden house, because you know that there will be police and detectives to investigate.

"When everyone was going to the wooden house, you stayed alone on purpose, and then performed a good show of being attacked by the magic dog in front of everyone. The purpose was to make everyone think that the magic dog was really burning."
